2 Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail;
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail:
Praise the God of our salvation,
Hosts on high His power proclaim;
Heaven and earth, and all creation,
Praise and magnify His name!

52. P. M. *Bowring.

Glad Homage.

1 Father of Spirits! humbly bent before Thee,
Songs of glad homage unto Thee we bring;
Touched by Thy spirit, O, teach us to adore Thee;
Let Thy light attend us,
Let Thy love befriend us,
Father of our spirits, Everlasting King!

2 Send forth Thy mandate, gather in the nations,
Through the wide universe Thy name be known,
Millions of voices shall join in adorations,
Every soul invited,
Every voice united,
Joining to adore Thee, Everlasting One!

53. 7s. M. J. Taylor.

Glory to God.

1 Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky!
Peace on earth to man forgiven,
Man, the well-beloved of heaven!

2 Favored mortals, raise the song;
Endless thanks to God belong;
Hearts o'erflowing with His praise,
Join the hymns your voices raise.

3 Mark the wonders of His hand;
Power, no empire can withstand;
Wisdom, angels' glorious theme;
Goodness, one eternal stream!

4 Gracious Being! from Thy throne
Send Thy promised blessings down;
Let Thy light, Thy truth, Thy peace,
Bid our selfish passions cease.

54. 7s. M. Bowring.

Lowly Praise.

1 Lord, in heaven, Thy dwelling-place,
Hear the praises of our race,
And, while hearing, let Thy grace
Dews of sweet forgiveness pour;
While we know, benignant King,
That the praises which we bring
Are a feeble offering,
Till Thy blessing makes it more.

2 More of truth, and more of might,
More of love, and more of light,
More of reason, and of right
From Thy pardoning grace be given!
This can make the humblest song
Sweet, acceptable, and strong,
As the strains the angels' throng
Pour around the throne of heaven.

55. P. M.
